Regarding the prospective duel on &C
count Of an aGront offered to Mile. Bnztine,
already mentioned in despatch ~ tho
MonSIsg NGwB, n special 10 the Missouri
| Republican from tho City Of Mexico has
! the following:
There arc no professional beauties IN Mcxi-
90, but there are women here for whom
| men sacrifice their lives. their souls and
their aacred honor, and for whom they
! would sacrifice more IL God or nature had
more richly endowed them. Among the
! lovoIicst Of all the lovely daughters Of the
| tropics IL Eugene Bazaine, daughter Of the
| French exile, Marshal Bazaine, who surrep-
| dered Metz to tho Germans IN 1870, with
| his army Of 100 600 men. But you will nsk
how did Marshal Bazine's daughter find II
| homo in the Mexican capital II is
a ROMANTIC STORY.
Marshal Bazaine wns the representative Of
| Napoleon Ill, the mau Of destiny, when tho
latter cspoused the cause Of Macmillan,
| nsprnnt 10 the throne Of Mexico, and he
| came to Mexico and marslaled the French
| troops NJ u representative Of the French En-
| pcrCr, in the interest Of the Austrian Duke,
| until the star Of the hitter began 20 wane,
| and then he became n traitor. But while
|
| hypOcrite md during the period Of his
| hypocrisy the Mexican Emperor, IN return
| for his services and fidelity lavishcd upon
| him his rOyhl favors
Marshal Bazninc being the representative
| of Napoleon, who eSpoused MnXimilinn's
cause was naturally the favorito Of the lat
ter, and the Mexican Emperor lavishod
| upon him his choicest gifts in the capital
| Bazaino became owner Of palRtial resi-
denccs, and he levied tribute Off the richest
| hacicn1ns; but Bnaaine was timofetver,
| and when his imperial master renowned
| his policy TO avoid n conflict with tho
| United States he became traitor TO Maxi
milinn and his cause, and returned to
| France, and his history as a French Marshal
| II known TO tho world. But while in
| Mexico
HE BECAME ENAMoRED
of Miss De In Pcna, lovely Mexican girl,
and ere returning TO France left n boy and
girl, babies, fruit Of lawful marriage. As
| French exile he Is now IN Spain, where his
Mexican son is also an officer In the army,
but his Mexican wife and daughter are Nv
| ing here in quiet way on the north side of
| tho Alcmada. His possessions were natur-
| ally eouhscatcd 10y Juarcz and the Liberal
| party, 30 that the income Of the wife and
daughter does not afford them opportuni-
ticp for extrayugant display. Tho Mcxi-
| can government, however, has gen
| erously allowed them to retain
| n home, but though fine substantial resi-
| dcuco stranger would ask in passing an
| exclamation of tho gloom that seems 30 sur
| round and Ovcrshndow IL. IL is this daugh-
| ter hidden away hero In the Mexican capital
and unknown to the world, which has heard
so much of Marshal Bazane that has been
| the innocent cause Of whit may vet prove
| to he n very serious difficulty Yesterday
| the air was filed with rjmuls of n double
| duel, IN one of which tho Spanish Minister,
| Senior Arustuw, WINS said TO have figured
| by proxy. To-day the duel Is still in
| allegiance, but thore is no telling when the
classic duclling grounds known rs Chapul-
| tepcC grove, may witness n bloody encoun-
| ter, az il Is said 60 he impossible to avoid a
meeting, and news is not circulated in
| Mexico as in tho United States, but tho
society of the capital is waiting with hated
| breath the result Of an implied insult 20
